A 500-acre regenerative farm

in Violet, North Carolina

Welcome to Highgrove. We are creating a unique sanctuary in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where the rhythms of nature, authentic farm life, and unforgettable outdoor adventures converge

Here, the wonders of the lake, farm, and forest are not just scenery, but the foundation for an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.

We are busy building this dream, caring for our animals, and crafting every detail of the Highgrove experience. We invite you to follow our journey and sign up for updates.

Mission

To practice soil-first regenerative agriculture, cultivating a landscape ot unparalleled quality and beauty. From our stone-walled garden to our 8-acre orchard and animal herds, we create the highest quality foods and products, not only for nourishment, but to form the heart of a memorable experience for the families who visit our unique corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

 

Vision

Our vision is for Highgrove to be a cherished sanctuary where families come to make memories that last for generations. We offer a rare retreat where the wonders of a 1000-acre wilderness lake, a thriving farm, and the majestic mountains converge. Here, guests can walk from our door through the Nantahala National Forest to fish for trout in the Hiawassee River, water ski miles of lake frontage, share in the bounty of our land, and reconnect with each other in a place of profound beauty and peace. Highgrove is more than a destination; it’s a legacy of shared joy and a lasting bond with the natural world.

 

Premium Pasture-Raised Turkey from Highgrove Farm, Violet NC

This is no Butterball! The Hirsh family’s inaugural batch of Highgrove turkeys spent their days living their best life – hunting bugs on pasture, soaking up sunshine, and dining on organic, corn-free, soy-free grains.

Your 14-20-pound bird developed the rich, complex flavor that only comes from actual exercise and real food – at least that is what we are hoping for!

From Highgrove Farm to your table: Support our school and take home a turkey worth bragging about. You’ll know exactly where dinner came from, and your family will taste the difference.
